There's a combined curry and kebab shop in Cessnock and they will let you get curry on the kebab and I was thinking about tikka masala babs and like holy gently caress was that hole made for me

Dunno if the place still exists but every year after the Big Day Out I'd stop in at this Indian takeaway in Kings Cross for their "Indian kebab" and it was brilliant. Chicken tikka, curried veggies, raita and a drizzle of butter chicken sauce wrapped in a garlic naan. :yum:

Remember before youtube checking the rage playlist on a Friday afternoon and staying up Saturday night to record the good stuff

I can remember when rage had a phone number you could call up and you'd put in your number then they'd send you a fax with the playlist on it. Then you could sit up and tape the good stuff

Edit - in a double post that reveals my age I'll also disclose that as a kid I refused to watch EC because it legit gave me nightmares

I saw on the ATO I had a notifcation about an unfiled return for... 2004. I was 14. I guess I filed a tfn for my first job and forgot to actually report my earnings (about $1600 I think lol I quit when I earned enough for a PC) that year?

I just got one of these pop up in my ATO page too. But mine is for the 2001/2 financial year. I was on the dole at that point so I'm sure that I don't owe any money. But it's weird that this is showing now, wtf is up with that?

The ATO website is directing me to print and complete a TaxPack to declare my income for that year but lol if they think that I can somehow produce an income statement from twenty years ago :cheersbird:

I will never understand how people get so much back on their returns, do you guys just make poo poo up or have abn's or something?
The only time I get anything more than like $100 is when the government gives me tax break for being poor.

I had about $1200 in charity donations, I claimed about $200 worth of office furniture and supplies I needed to work from home, and I went from a higher paying job to a lower paying one during the last financial year so I assume that gave my refund a bit of a boost. In the past I've claimed political party and union fees as deductions too.

I could have claimed a percentage of my power bills for the time I worked at home as well but since my partner is self employed and works from home too it got complicated so that went in the cbf basket.

Oi, can I get some road trip destination recommendations in here please? My friend and I want to disappear somewhere for a weekend and just sit around and get shitfaced without our kids/partners. I've got a lovely back and can't do super long drives so anywhere within about a four hour radius of Newcastle would be good.

Thanks for the recommendations! Seal Rocks looks nice and I've never been there before so it's currently at the top of the list. Wollombi/Broke are lovely, I've spent a lot of time out there already though. I'll get to looking up some of the other suggestions. Hopefully soon before we all have to hermitise again, yeech

When I quit smoking, my prime motivator was that durries were too expensive and I couldn't afford them. I was newly redundant thanks to the GFC, my ex had just left me in a shitload of credit card debt, a packet of Peter Jackson extra mild 30's cost $34 and I was so stressed that I was going through a packet a day.

I thought it was expensive to smoke back then, it's flat out insane what it costs now.

If it's any consolation, you couldn't have claimed it for teeth removal anyway - it's only for things like disability aids and carer costs.

I did when I had all four wisdom teeth removed in a private hospital. That was ten years ago though so maybe the rules were a bit looser back then?

Were you audited and it was okayed? Otherwise it's more likely you got away with it rather than it being allowed. That particular offset hasn't been around for 10 years, so it wouldn't be it specifically, but I can't think of an older one you could have legitimately claimed under either (assuming you're not a pensioner?)

It was ten years ago though? iirc it was the medical expenses tax offset and you were only eligible if you spent more than $2000 on medical/dental related stuff. My friend who was an ATO lawyer told me it was fine at the time and I haven't gotten audited since so :shrug:

Now that we can both work from home we're considering moving further out to get something affordable.

My partner runs a software start-up and I work from home so we couldn't justify a $600K mortgage just for the convenience of living close to the nearest big city. The affordable house we bought is about an hour drive out of town, but we don't need to go there often. It was nice not having to compete with the larger groups of people that were showing up to open houses in the city! Good luck with your search, house hunting is pretty stressful.

We used to have one of those Samsung washing machines, the top loading sort that were prone to catching on fire if you used hot water to wash. It eventually died and we replaced it with a Bosch which I am very happy with. The only thing I don't like about it is that when it finishes, it beeps in a really angry pissed off way. The Samsung used to play a happy little song that reminded me of the pc speaker theme songs from the computer games I'd play as a kid.

Still, I guess cranky beep is better than having your house possibly burn down

that sounds dangerous what if the bread get stuck? does it just continue pushing upwards and crush your bread?

granted it saves you digging around in the toaster with your finger but at what cost???

I think I have this same toaster and there's little guide wire frame things around the bread, so there is no way it could get stuck. It's also a calm little beep, not like my angry bitching washing machine

Just give me friendly, happy beeps to alert me to my tech and I'm good.

Mine was willing to prescribe me Valium over the phone, maybe ask for a telehealth appointment?

I have no tatts and I feel too old to start now.

I don't know how old you are but imo your 30s is the best time to get lots of tattoos because you are more likely to have the disposable income required to get a decent artist to do them, they'll look fresh and new well into your 40s if you take care of them, and you're not old enough at that point for being tattooed to hurt the extra way it does when your skin starts to thin as you age.

I've seen a surprising amount of mask wearing here in the Hunter Valley. Also an unsurprising amount of rage on the local fb group aimed at the bus loads of tourists still coming up from Sydney for wine tours and stopping in at woolies (sans masks) for snacks on the way out to the vineyards.

I blame the government for being too loose with lockdown and lifting it way too early.

I have a spot on one lung which was there when I was diagnosed and which hasn't grown in the last 8 months, so they're referring me to a lung specialist to work out whether it should be biopsied or just monitored by the CT scans I will be having every three months.

I was able to, with instruction from the manual, do the classic

"You are near a tree that is × meters tall, you look up at an angle of theta, how far away are you"

There is absolutely a knack to it I do not possess yet but it is fun to do math on and learn this knack intuitively

Aldi haloumi is pretty good! I don't mind their feta either.

The special buys are hit and miss but some of the standouts over the years for me have been the wooden kid's toys, an acrylic shower caddy and the knock-off roomba. Oh, and I've gotten some bargain gym equipment for dirt cheap since I live in one of NSW's obesity epicentres so it doesn't sell well and always ends up on the markdown table.
